Chapter 2564 A small discussion on ancient anecdotes
In Chang'an.
In the snowy backyard of the Husband's Mansion, the study of Qinglong Temple continued, but this time, it was not just Fei Qian and Pang Tong, but also Zao Zhi, Xun You, Sima Yi, Wei Duan, Du Ji, and Kan Ze
, Zhuge Jin, Wang Chang, Ma Heng, Han Guo and others were also present.
Some of these people were originally from the land of Sanfu, and some were from surrounding counties. They came because of the trick. At this moment, they were all invited by Fei Qian to attend the banquet together.
The weather was cold, so I made Qiang cooking. Sitting around the yard, watching the snow scene, and eating hot pot is one of the great pleasures in life. Everyone has a hot pot in front of them, and the sliced meat is spread on the stone slabs.
Pick vegetables as a garnish and add them as you go, making them as simple as you like.
Fei Qian looked at it and then smiled too.
Many things have quietly changed.
For example, for this banquet, if it was the custom in the past, the host had to prepare a lot of ingredients. Once the guests did not eat enough, were not full, and were not drunk, it would be the host's dereliction of duty. Then the banquet would start from noon to evening, and he would have to give
Guests prepare guest rooms, etc. At the same time, guests also have to eat as much as they can. Everyone almost has to eat meat and drink until they are full, and only then can they show respect for the host.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that in fact such overeating is very detrimental to health.
Then, high-ranking officials and celebrities in the Han Dynasty also liked to hold banquets continuously for several days or more than ten days...
But now, for example, at the banquet here in Feiqian, except for the first three glasses of wine, there is no advice. Those who like to drink drink more, and those who can't drink will not be forced to stop drinking. The same goes for eating, if you like to eat
If you are fat, eat fat. If you like to eat more gluten, eat more gluten. It is also okay to chew on the bones like jujube. For example, Zhuge Jin likes to eat winter greenhouse vegetables, and no one will criticize him.
.
People themselves are different, so why must we restore the classical etiquette as it was before the Spring and Autumn Period and not change it?
But there are also some things that are still going on and are extremely stubborn.
Such as leverage.
In other words, in Qinglong Temple, there are a large number of people who are similar to the "Gang Jing" of later generations. They are ideologically solidified and unwilling to accept new changes and knowledge. What they like to do most is similar to
Wandering and going off-topic, waffling and arrogant, chewing on words, and then seizing on the slightest mistake to attack without hesitation, completely ignoring the overall carelessness or the initial conditions, always blaming others, and finally completely breaking up the topic and confusing it.
"Today's banquet is about gossiping about ancient times. Someone has a theory, and I would like you to enlighten me..."
Fei Qian said slowly, "The limit of antiquity starts from the Huaxu family, passes through Pangu, Yanhuang, Chiyou, and then Yao, Shun, Yu, and ends in Xia. It is called the ancient China. You guys think
how?"
In fact, Dayu can not be regarded as ancient, because Dayu is regarded as the transition from the abdication system to the hereditary inheritance system. It can be regarded as the upper one, but it can also be regarded as the lower one. However, for the sake of clarity, it is cut from the Xia, and the ones before the Xia are regarded as
In ancient China, it was more appropriate.
Everyone looked at each other, and there was no big difference of opinion.
Things in ancient times are too far away after all.
"The Huaxu family must have preceded them, but they don't have a name, so why?" Fei Qian continued to ask, "Does Shi Yuan know the reason?"
Pang Tong stretched out his short and fat carrot hand and knocked on his head, as if he wanted to knock some knowledge out of his head. "The Mandarin said, "Xi Shaodian married the Youyu family and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.
, great-grandmother Hua Xu. "However, there is no record of the ancestors of the Hua Xu family. I would like to speculate that most of them have no writing..."
Fei Qian nodded, "Hua Xu, also known as He Xu, Hua Ye, Hua Ye, He Ye, Liang Ye, and He Hua, are the remaining fire of Xu, the flower of China, or derived from Hua Xu."
…But why does Hua Xu have a name, but Hua Xu’s predecessor has no name?”
No one could answer.
Fei Qian said: "It's just for use."
Everyone was either stunned or at a loss.
Fei Qian said slowly, "In ancient times, people were sparsely populated, and everyone in the tribe was familiar with it. They were like a team leading their soldiers, and they could be commanded like an arm without using their names... Then the crowd was like an army,
If there are no flags, golden drums, it will not work. Therefore, another question arises, why is it necessary? And why is it used in this way?"
Everyone began to think deeply.
This is an issue that they have never thought about in detail. It seems to be the case, as if it should be the case, and basically they have not considered the issue in detail.
"Gongda." Feiqian called.
"I'm here," Xun You replied.
"Is there any record of winter snow since the Taixing year?" Fei Qian asked again, "Is it increasing or decreasing, and how long will it last?"
Xun You was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed softly, glanced at the flying snow in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Since the Taixing Year, there have been records in the North that snowfalls, big and small, have become more frequent, and last year it was even more continuous."
It’s been more than a month and the snow is knee-deep, making it impossible for people and horses to move..."
"What Gongda said is true," Fei Qian nodded and said, "Therefore, in the northern desert, the Jiankun and Rouran people go south to avoid them. By analogy, you all know why they are so beautiful.
Are you alive?"
Du Ji's eyes lit up, but he did not speak. Zao Zhi, who was next to him, clapped his hands and said, "Is it possible that the tribes from the Northern Desert are going south, and they have the name of Huaxu, so they can be divided into enemies and friends?"
"Maybe." Fei Qian nodded, "Nothing is recorded in ancient times, but the reincarnation of heaven is just like the changing of four seasons. In the time of Huaxu, it may be like now. The northern desert is bitter and cold, and it is impossible to live there. The tribes have gone south one after another, stacking up and fighting with each other.
, how to distinguish them, there should be names to distinguish them, so the words are derived from them..."
In ancient times, the land was obviously vast and sparsely populated.
The reason why human beings form tribes is not because they were tribal in the beginning, but because human beings cannot survive without tribes, so they gather together.
Most tribes are related by blood, but it is not so easy to develop tribal alliances with different bloodlines in different regions.
The climate is mild and the food is plentiful. Just like many overfed gangsters in later generations, they will not have any unified thoughts and behavior patterns. Only when their lives are threatened and they realize that they cannot survive without unified action, the gangsters will
Jing naturally closed his mouth.
In later generations, the more developed the Internet is, the better the economy is. Year after year, people are constantly being good at arguing, and the flag is passed down from generation to generation. Most of them eat too much, dress too well, and people who are busy making a living and struggling to maintain their families basically don’t.
If you are arguing, you must cooperate with others and know how to cooperate with each other.
The era of the Huaxu family was a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change in ancient Chinese history.
A super large-scale elimination of the "Gang Jing" flying over.
From tribes to tribal alliances, and the subsequent form of tribal alliances is the country.
The development of the tribal alliance is divided into two stages. The first stage is the alliance of blood tribes, and the second stage is the alliance of regional tribes. This is already the prototype of the country. In order to survive, the tribal alliance has formulated the requirements that all tribes must
The rules to be followed are the predecessor of the law.
In order for this law to be known and obeyed by everyone, it must be written down instead of being changed at will, so writing was born.
With writing, there is civilization.
This is a leap-forward evolution of Chinese human society.
The reason why humans upgraded from scattered tribes to tribal alliances about 4,600 years ago was to survive. The greatest pressure for survival, forcing all tribes to agree to the alliance, must be unprecedented, and no tribe can compete.
The pressure is the pressure of nature, which is the change of the overall climate.
After the Ice Age, humans began to live and multiply in the ever-expanding space of Eurasia as the earth heated up after the Ice Age. It was an era when the land was vast and sparsely populated, and people could survive anywhere. At that time, the earth had a continuous period of three thousand years.
During the ultra-high temperature period, before the beginning of ancient history, almost all human beings went to higher latitudes, possibly to areas around 60-70 degrees north latitude. Later generations also unearthed some ancient human remains in Siberia.
Some ancient jade artifacts can provide circumstantial evidence of this.
In low latitudes, there are fewer people because it is too hot.
Then Mother Earth started to calm down and stopped going to nightclubs to party every day, and everything started to cool down again.
Human beings in the northernmost part felt the pressure of the Great Cooling the earliest and felt it most strongly, so they set out the earliest. Human beings began to fight their way south from high latitudes in tribal units. The Heilongjiang Basin was once a gathering place for human beings on the eve of ancient Chinese history, and later it was
Migrated to the Yellow River Basin.
In the process from north to south, the entire northern part of Eurasia is very wide, but the further south it becomes, the narrower it becomes sharply. For example, this is especially true in the terrain of Northeast China. At the northern entrance, the width is thousands of
kilometers, and the southern exit is only a few miles near Shanhaiguan. In such a sharply narrowed space, human beings naturally launched the most ferocious and tragic life-and-death struggle in order to survive. Who can upgrade to the tribal alliance and who has more?
Whoever has the chance to win, so it was at this time that China, under the unification of the Huaxu clan, was upgraded into an unrivaled super-large tribal alliance. Later, with the Great Migration, it could be distributed throughout the country and even the world.
Those tribes that were unwilling to merge and were full of rebellious genes were eliminated in this process.
Unified norms came out, the bad guys were put aside, and the prototype of the country emerged.
Therefore, the ancient civilizations around the world appeared at similar times, and their latitudes were similar. This is generally the reason.
"After Hua Xu, when Fu Xi was young, the leader of China was Pangu." Fei Qian continued, "Pangu is a name, either a god or a human being. Some people think that it is the name of a tribe.
The leader of the tribe is called Pangu, just like the tribes of Yan and Huang. Pangu’s tribe is good at holding axes and axes in battle, so it has the name of opening the sky."
In the later rock paintings of Cangyuan, Yunnan, there is a work by pre-primitive people, which depicts a person with the rays of the sun emitting from his head, holding a stone ax in his left hand, a wooden handle in his right hand, and his legs standing upright. This kind of
The image is more or less consistent with the legend of Pangu standing between heaven and earth, using an ax to split chaos and create heaven and earth. This shows that in ancient times, Pangu, or this type of person who fought with a stone axe, was quite famous.
After all, in the ancient times when knowledge was extremely scarce, knowing how to make stone axes, or how to make better stone axes, was the authority of the Pangu clan, and this is where the original meaning of the word "yue" comes from.
"The sword is a big axe. This is what Pangu can do." Fei Qian continued, "Later, the Pangu tribe dispersed, and Yanhuang stood out. The remaining Pangu tribe walked away holding the sword, and scattered along the way, which was the source of their respective crossings...
…』
"As for the people after Yanhuang..." Fei Qian chuckled, picked up a piece of meat and put it in the hot pot, "I won't go into details..."
The word Huaxia, from another perspective, is Hua Cong Hua Xu, Xia Mo, needless to say.
Fei Qian ate the meat leisurely, but everyone was a little frightened.
What does the hussar general mean?
No one believed that Fei Qian was just idle and bored, so what was Fei Qian's purpose?
Some people are thoughtful, some are surprised, and some are just eating and drinking...
The few young people sitting at the bottom were more active, whispering and chattering to each other because their positions were not prestigious enough to allow them to sit alone and it was a two-seat system.
As for the elders at the top, their faces were solemn, and they didn't know where they were thinking of going.
Fei Qian watched and ate, and then waited until everyone seemed to have finished talking privately, and then slowly said: "Today's discussion of ancient times is about visiting Qinglong Temple. It is quite disordered, so I will try to discuss it. So-called
When debating, you should clearly understand right and wrong, clarify the merits, examine the laws and names, determine the pros and cons and resolve doubts, and explore the origin of things, just like the ancients' discussion of right and wrong."
"When someone said that Huaxu, some people said that the seal of Huaxu Lei Ze was false, or that Huaxu had not been detailed for a long time in ancient times, how about that?" Fei Qian asked, "Or when someone said
At the time of Pangu, there were words of chaos opening up the sky, or the bones and blood turned into rivers, the eyes turned into the sun and the moon, etc. How can we defend it?"
"The reason for discussing is that the discussion should have a beginning, an end, an outer edge, and an inner core. The debate should be within it," Fei Qian continued, "If someone talks about antiquity, then he will talk about antiquity directly, without mentioning Zhou Gong.
Regardless of spring and autumn, if one is biased, it is like discussing the merits of the sun and moon and their size, or discussing the weight of rivers and pots. This is a moth-like discussion, how can it be tolerated in the court?"
Just like when some Western scholarship began to spread in China, there seemed to be two extreme schools. One was the theory of Western supremacy, and everything was good from the West; the other was the theory that existed from ancient times, and then what?
China has already had it...
Fei Qian introduced Aristotle's logic in the hope of standardizing all kinds of weird debates that occurred in Qinglong Temple in the early days, even the kind where the public talked about the public and the mother-in-law talked about the mother-in-law, and then in the end there was either a fight or a fight.
No one can convince anyone to play their own game.
When talking about reason, talk about emotions, when talking about feelings, talk about interests, and when talking about interests, it is related to etiquette. When you talk about etiquette, you will ask, "Are you loyal?"
There are also those that forcibly link patriotism and thieves, those that blend victims and indiscretions, those that sew anger and youth together, those that abusers can use good grades as conditions for forgiveness, those that help the elderly and
The behavior of causing an accident is the same. Everyone on the road needs to have the power of prediction two seconds in advance...
Isn't it a direct manifestation of unclear logic and confusion?
Isn't this the legacy of China's failure to emphasize logic and fail to cross the boundaries of clear names through the ages?
What's more, the people who are supposed to uphold justice and uphold the law do not have this basic logical concept in their heads, and come up with all kinds of lamentable judgments. Whose fault is this?
China actually has logic, but this early logic was succumbed to Confucianism after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was tampered with into a sophistry technique. As a result, it was not fully developed in the later period. The most fundamental reason is that the ruling class did not
I hope the people will think about it and explore why. All we need is for the people to be obedient and implement it, and those who dare to raise questions will be dealt with directly. In the end, there will be no people left to study logic and explore the truth, and only a group of people will be left.
He said that he would jump off the building to refuse the food that came to him, and then he naturally took the bowl and exclaimed, "How delicious it is..."
And such a result, history has proven countless times, is wrong. It can only make China's feudal dynasty fall into the same pit again and again, because those who work hard to explore, find the truth of things, and find that things are different have been
The ruler and the ruler's bastard were killed. Then the bastard could only keep picking up old books, trying to use ancient examples to prove the current problem, and take the medicine according to the prescription. If he was cured, he would be showing off his medical skills.
It's amazing, if it can't be cured, it means that the person who wrote this prescription is a quack.
Fei Qian wanted to change this problem and introduced Aristotle's famous debate. The original intention was to use jade from other mountains to inspire the brilliance of Chinese civilization. As a result, two groups of such people appeared in Qinglong Temple.
One wave advocated that everything in the West was good, and the other wave said that ancient China had nothing to do with it. The two groups of people fought fiercely, and then the direction of Qinglong Temple's talk, which had finally been put on track, became chaotic again.
"Therefore, after the New Year, the topics discussed in Qinglong Temple's great treatises should be like the "ancient treatises" mentioned by a certain person, with front and back and boundaries," Fei Qian said slowly, "we should discuss things in the same way and discuss the principles.
, it should be understood and should not be discussed in general terms or mixed up. If the reason is not clear, it should be clarified before we debate it. What do you think?"
Everyone was silent for a while, looked at each other, and then said in unison: "That's what it is, and I will obey the Lord's order."
Afterwards, Fei Qian stopped talking about things related to Qinglong Temple, and began to talk to various people, or asked about some local farming and trade, or asked about some interesting things in their respective counties, and the overall atmosphere became lively again.
They got up until it was getting late, and everyone gradually dispersed after having had enough wine and food.
Wei Duan climbed into Du Ji's car, sent his own vehicle to follow, then looked back at the general's mansion in the distance, then turned to ask Du Ji: "Bohou, what do you think of the lord's remarks today?"
,What’s the deep meaning?」
Hussar said that the debate was only about Qinglong Temple and nothing else was involved.
